tried a couple of the suggestions from the forum to get it to display on the desktop
on the irc channel also, i iuse this to keep an eye on the cpu temp, traffic,
once i figure it out i'll post the fix on here just in case someone else has trouble
can't believe i'm epically failing with a conky of all things
brainfart day i guess, grab coffee..._________________just hit enter, things will be fine...

i tried that and all the other options, override, desktop, normal etc. have no idea why in the world i can not get this to show on the desktop
appreciate your trying, any other ideas i'm all in, can't believe i'm not getting this to work, i pulled an i5 out of my laptop put an i7 in
well, kinda a good move, had to tone down the i7 to two cores and i use the conky for monitoring traffic and temps
sq1rl_________________just hit enter, things will be fine...

i removed it that's what the output was, not sure why
appreciate you helping, been on linux couple years
and well, getting "settled in" to the gentoo way
love this software but wow, lots of coffee and couple hours of sleep
moose, thank you for the replies, means a lot
